Friday was a record breaker

From the Bangor Daily News:

Even with the glitches, a record number of guns were sold on Black Friday all across the country, Stephen G. Fischer Jr., director of the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services Division, said Monday.

154,873 transactions were recorded Friday. That's nearly 20 pcernet over 2011's Black Friday record breaker.

I didn't shop on Friday, but I did hit a few firearms retailers yesterday. The guys around here still seemed to be doing a brisk business. Most stores looked relatively well stocked. But there were plenty of empty spots in the ammo cases at a couple of Walmart stores I spot checked.
